New Mommy-mobile

 I'm happy to announce that I FINALLY got a SUV!! We traded the Jetta in for a brand new 2011 GMC Terrain!! Some people are sad to see their previous car go, but let me tell you, I couldn't sign over the release forms for my old car fast enough. I bought the Jetta 2 months before Scott and I got married, it was only a year old and had 8,000 miles on it so it was perfect for me. But after I had Trent I felt so unsafe in it. I'd have these thoughts while I was going through an intersection that if someone blew through a red light we'd be toast. It scared be badly, but I had only had the car for a year so I obviously couldn't get rid of it. Now that we're having a second child it was a must, the Jetta had to go. It was a good car to me, in fact, it was 7 years old and only had 36,000 miles on it!! The dealership had no problem taking it with those kind of miles. I did my research on SUV's for weeks, trying to find the best one, best gas mileage, had to be cute (lol), and definitely had to have good safety ratings on it. I don't think you can get better than a 5 star crash tested car, so the Terrain it was. This one is fully loaded with whitish/gray and black leather, sun roof, On Star, blue tooth, satellite radio, remote start on the car so I can start it inside and warm it up before we get it and NO ONE CAN STEAL IT WITHOUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION..Awesome!! it also has a backup camera so I can see everything behind me, and you can open the back hatch/latch(whatever you call it) with the remote so that it'll open and close for you when your hands are full with groceries, or kids that is..
I really wasn't expecting to find a SUV with so many options on it that didn't cost an arm and a leg...ok well maybe 2 arms, but not BOTH legs lol.
OH and the BEST part...it gets 22 mpg in the city and 32 on the hwy..almost as good as my Jetta..now that's pretty darn good for a SUV!!
Anyway, I absolutely love it, love the new car smell, new leather smell and CLEANLINESS..it's all just a breath of fresh air. We're ready for baby #2 to come already, hurry up little one!!
